Seriously??? You all are complaining about two games ..... yep you're right we got beat 6 x last year AND MADE THE PLAYOFFS but I seam to remember not to long ago this team couldn't win a SINGLE game..... (insert sarcasm here) you must be right after this pathetic team last yr Fire the defense coaches....RIGHT..........

noobla you are an uneducated FOOL if you think this is for one persons child! The Fact is that 1 in100 are now diagnosed with Autism rj5000 is right this bill creates a precedent for addressing other issues. God forbid one of your children could need this effort.

I think is was Avril that hit him.. Anyway as far as off season work outs go NO contact between the team and players from last game and april so I think that's why they need guys like Tulloch and KVB if for no other reason to teach the young in's how to train for the long haul. IMO

"An agitator who frequently gets under his opponents' skin, Downie has 638 penalty minutes in 252 career games, including 121 in 55 games this season. He'll add some bite to the Avalanche forward lines, but brings enough skills to play a top-nine role with second-unit power play time.

In the last three seasons, there have only been two players to score at least 20 goals and register 150 penalty minutes in the same season -- Downie and Dallas' Steve Ott, both in 2009-2010. "

The reason Colorado wanted Downie is the same as Detroit wanting Quincey. We both have players at their respected positions that are unrestricted free agents at the end of the season so these are insurance players. Great move Kenny!
